This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 241: Chapter 186: Martial Arts Realm, Dean Xu Yang?_3

Xu Yang’s gaze shifted slightly, this was similar to what was written in many novels.

He said, “This is a major project, and I’m afraid it can’t be implemented in a short period of time.”

However, Feng Zhaoqing laughed and said, “Minister Wang and some high-level officials have been preparing for this for more than ten years. I heard that they had already compiled the textbooks three years ago. As soon as the next semester begins, it will be promoted to the entire nation. Martial arts and Daoist skills will become part of the nine-year compulsory education.”

Xu Yang raised a doubt, “Our capital of Xi Xia Province is Silver City, so why was the Martial Arts Academy built in Wu City?”

“It comes from higher-ups.”

Feng Zhaoqing explained, “The specific reason may be related to the City God Temple ruins in Silver City.”

Xu Yang was surprised, “Minister Wang has already become a Land Immortal, but he still cannot deal with the trouble of the City God Temple ruins?”

Feng Zhaoqing bitterly smiled, “The City God has a high position, and those who can hold the title of City God must be powerful beings sent by the Underworld Palace. Now, they have become evil gods, and no one knows how strong they actually are. Although Minister Wang has become a Land Immortal, he absolutely can’t afford any accidents. Otherwise, the whole Da Xia would be in chaos. Without Minister Wang suppressing the martial world, clans, and sects, they won’t be as peaceful as they are now.”

Xu Yang suddenly understood.

Wang Hou indeed couldn’t afford any accidents.

For Da Xia, he was undoubtedly the mainstay. If anything were to happen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Then Feng Zhaoqing said, “I came to find Master Xu today to invite you to be the dean of our Wu City Martial Arts Academy.”

“Ah?”

Xu Yang was startled and quickly waved his hand, “No, no… I just graduated from high school, don’t have much culture, and I am young with little experience. How can I take the position of dean?”

“Master Xu, you are now the top expert in Wu City, and even in the whole Xi Xia, you are an extraordinary figure. Your Daoist skills are profound, which even Minister Wang highly praises. Your unparalleled hammer technique has earned you the title of Northwest Hammer King. If you are not qualified to be the dean, then who in the entire Xi Xia is?”

Xu Yang felt a little embarrassed by the praise and said, “But as you know, I have a fickle nature. If I were to teach students, I’m afraid I might lead them astray.”

Feng Zhaoqing laughed and said, “Practicing Daoism and martial arts is not the same as scientific research. If, in the future, all the students of our Wu City Martial Arts Academy could be as righteous as Master Xu, it would be a great fortune to Wu City!”

Damn!

Am I really that outstanding?

For a moment, Xu Yang even doubted himself, but he knew his limits. The only thing he could do was to find an excuse, “My current goal is to deeply practice Daoism, comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth. If I go to the Martial Arts Academy, when would I have time?”

“Don’t worry, Master Xu.”

Feng Zhaoqing said, “As the dean, you only need to occasionally attend and speak at meetings, motivate the students, and set the rules. When the Martial Arts Academy starts, we will recruit teachers from society to educate the students.”

With the conversation reaching this point, Xu Yang couldn’t refuse any further.

In fact, it was also because he wanted to do this deep down… Otherwise, no matter how beautiful Feng Zhaoqing’s words were, they wouldn’t convince Xu Yang.

In this lifetime, Xu Yang had two major regrets.

The first regret was not being able to show more filial piety towards his old man… However, his old man’s soul has entered the Underworld Palace, and he could make up for that regret once he found him.

The second regret was not being able to attend university.

He heard that there were many beautiful women in colleges and university life was great… Unfortunately, he never got to experience it.

So now, becoming the dean of a Martial Arts Academy…

He could fulfill his dream of the university.

When he heard that Xu Yang agreed, Feng Zhaoqing was extremely happy, and immediately stood up to announce, “The Wu City Martial Arts Academy will be inaugurated and start construction tomorrow. There will also be a press conference. I’ve already arranged for journalists to ask questions. At that time, Master Xu, you just need to cut the ribbon at the scene and say a few words.” Are they really in such a hurry?

However, since he had agreed, and as the dean, attending the ribbon-cutting and giving a speech was both reasonable and appropriate.

Feng Zhaoqing left soon after.

Xu Yang then slapped his thigh and said, “Damn… I forgot to ask about the salary and benefits… But since there’s only one Martial Arts Academy in each province, in terms of the ranking, it shouldn’t be worse than Qing Bei University, right? So, my salary and benefits should be similar to the president of Qing Bei University?”

PS: Deleted and modified many parts, so there are only over 9,000 words today. These days, I’ve been busy attending weddings and gatherings, leaving me with too much to do..
